@WelBeast The Charity Shield should always be between 2 English teams who have actually won something so West Ham would have a right to play or Man Utd.

@StratcomCentre @Biz_Ukraine_Mag so the countries who are buying gas from Russia are funding a terrorist state, so they need to be sanctioned.

@JoePompliano @VancityReynolds @RMcElhenney @Wrexham_AFC And Wrexham very much have a chance of reaching the PL, if Bournemouth can make it Wrexham can make it, but it's a case of what are the owners prepared to do to make it happen.

@McFaul But after The Berlin Wall fell NATO could have been disbanded,that should have been the peace dividend, too much money too many jobs for the boys involved.

@AdamBienkov There isn't enough jeopardy for failed politicians, they can just skulk off, bit like the drug taking athletes who can just post their medals back, they should have to stand on the podium at the next Olympics/election and have it ripped from the neck/ be hooked off stage.

@Since71Blog Fair enough but an England v Spain final would show women's football is no longer an Olympic sport but is now a real sport to be dominated by real sports nations, not Olympic sports nations, women's football, women's sport has arrived.

@RorySmith Without Man City Newcastle all the American bean-counters would be holding hands spending 42% of turnover pretending to compete, just like in their homeland.

@tomsan106 Club football has made the difference, the European footballing pyramid to be precise, where North America has wasted decades following the closed league culture of its men, Europe has decided to open up the pyramid to women.

@GracenoteLive How much longer can the Olympics be seen as a major tournament,women's football is no longer an Olympic sport but a real sport, like the men's tournament it should go U-23s 16 teams.

@Lu_Class_ @NUFCgallowgate @NUFC_Index @nufc4arab @MagpieGroupNUFC @NUFC360 @Magpie24_7 If Newcastle were allowed to spend proper money their front of shirt sponsorship would be worth double the highest, the rise Newcastle would be THE sports story of the 2020s other than the rise of women's football.

@megreyes_ The story needs to be what impact is it having at home, is it going to launch a league, is it going to mean better grassroots funding, is there going to be a football pitch/club around every corner, sport teams should represent the infrastructure of the country,.

@agbnufc_ @MailSport The oil clubs don't actually mind spending money, the American spivs are a disease to competitive sport, it's why they don't have any in their own country.

@karlsentk we are certainly waiting for a player of Guillit Van Basten Koeman Bergkamp Robben Van Persie Van Nistelroy standard to come along, the only player of real standard of recent times has been VVD.

@dmatheson8 You have one heck of a task, on one hand women's football will now go off the scale, it will put women's sport on the map like never before, but the energy for all of it is coming from the European footballing pyramid, my advice to you is create a NA version.

@Corballyred City have swept away all of Liverpools and United history, this is real football, and United or Liverpool never came close in a 100 years.

@MelissaReddy_ Liv won 1 Covid tainted title and remember MC have been hobbled by Draconian financial restrictions to help the Liverpool spivs,we are witnessing fake sport just like the US leagues, the Americans need to be flushed from the game, they are from a non-competitive sports culture.

@tariqpanja Freeing up the PL financially will mean middle clubs of the PL will be able to challenge Liverpool Man Utd Arsenal, now it will be a CHOICE of the US bean-counters if they decide to compete with Man City Newcastle, either way it benefits competition.

@TFHBs Germany beating Hungary 1954 that was the only game they lost in about 5 years, the Hungarians deserve more recognition and a WC win would have been deserved.

@tgloban well they need more opportunity to play, when do they ever get chance to play European teams,World Cups just being every four years holds the development of football back, Wenger was wrong about a lot but hes right about a World Cup every 2 years.

@fiago7 @casey_szn12 Germany are going to get battered so bad it will force the change of their entire sports culture, 2026 will be the same for the USA, and England will probably win both tournaments.

@JacobsBen Do the government have control of the funds or not, they may as well have let him keep Chelsea, we would have had one less US competition-dodging spiv in the league at least.

@DickinsonTimes Saudi has been built by America, all the US spiv owners are from the US department of non-competitive sport who would look to destroy our sporting culture because they don't have one,they should never have been allowed here, closed leagues are designed for human rights abuses.
